Noah Igbinoghene Expected To Man The Slot
5 years agoMiami Dolphins cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, who was one of the team's three first-round picks, is expected to defend the slot in his rookie season. Miami's offense may still struggle in 2020, but their defense, especially the secondary, has been vastly upgraded. Igbinoghene will be sandwiched by Xavien Howard and Byron Jones in the secondary. This cornerback group could rank up there with the better units in the NFL when all is said and done in 2020. The rookie is strong, physical and aggressive, but he's also raw with just two years of experience at the position. Miami's defensive coaches will need to do a good job of coaching him up for him to reach his true potential, but having Howard and Jones on the outside should help make the transition easier.
